Museum and Art Gallery Two-Way Radios in VA and NC

Discreetly Communicate Across Museum Staff

Whether there is a suspicious person, a coffee spill or lost child, museums, art galleries and historical sites often need to coordinate staff. A speedy resolution can make all the difference to the visitor experience.

But if you’re using an inferior radio system, you might have some issues.

  1. Loud – Without an earpiece, a walkie-talkie needs to be loud enough for the wearer to hear it, disturbing the peace of the guests who are trying to enjoy exhibits.
  2. Cross talk – If your radio system doesn’t give you dedicated channels for different teams, everyone from janitor to front desk security is bombarded with irrelevant conversations.
  3. Not enough radios – When you can only give radios to security staff, you miss out on a bunch of opportunities where having a radio would be helpful.

What you need is a radio system that has discreet earpieces for any staff who could benefit from coordination.

Types of Museums Using Two-Way Radios

Because both Virginia and North Carolina were in the 13 original colonies, there is a lot of history. With that rich history comes a lot of history museums.

There are over 527 museums in Virginia and over 517 in North Carolina but not all of them are history museums. There are art museums, history museums, science museums and museums on niche topics (like the Asheville Radio Museum).

These museums employ staff as groundskeepers, front desk receptionists, tour guides, security personnel and other behind-the-scenes support staff. A quality radio system can help these staff members to stay coordinated.

For instance, imagine that a tour group shows up at the front desk reception. The receptionist may want to inform the tour guide that the next group has arrived before switching channels and radioing for any available museum attendant to point out the elevator to a family with a stroller. Either of these two tasks would be a pain if not for the museum’s radio system.

Customize Your Radio System for Your Museum

Your museum is unique. It could be a single building, small or large, new or old. It could be multiple buildings or have a sprawling outdoor landscape. You could have multiple teams of staff or just a handful of dedicated employees.

We can:

  • Set up your radio strength to go through walls or span large environments
  • Configure multiple channels for your various teams while still preserving your ability to talk to everyone at once
  • Provide your staff with earpieces and portable radios so employee conversations never disturb museum visitors
